So it’s assembled, just need to protect the wood from moisture.
The ‘behind the mirror’ lights are working nicely, it’s based on WLED, the LED’s inside are SK6812, so it has very nice white, as well as RGB.
And then I off course need to polish the mirror 
It’s going to be set up before halloween, and I already have videos of ghosts ready and tested 
So far the frame is built, with the monitor mounted (19" LG). It has a 12V PSU, with a buckconverter for the RPi3, and a USB hub for the USB soundcard (and also gives the possibility of adding a USB keyboard to it without twisting fingers.
The reason for the 12V PSU is that I’m awaiting delivery of my 2x10W speakers, and a stereo 15" amplifier that will be added to the mirror as well.
I sent the oracal back (very expensive stuff) as I could get much cheaper and darker stuff from our local hardware store.
So I got the back covered with it, and then cut holes in it for the LED lights and monitor, it seems to work very well.
Ok, finally I found the right module. So the remote module in MagicMirror (MMM-Remote-Control), and then ‘rest_command:’ setup in HA.
That way the motionsensor can turn the screen on and off in the mirror. For now I’ve made it simple with just defining four commands, two for on / off and two for dim / undim. And then just use those services in HA automations.
Works perfectly.
Now I need to turn some modules on and off depending on the time of day.
The HA commands:
rest_command:
turn_off_mm_screen:
url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/off
turn_on_mm_screen:
url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/on
dim_mm_screen:
url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/75
undim_mm_screen:
url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/100
One of the automations (at night)
- id: '1557033756115'
alias: Turn on bathroom light at night
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.bathroom_movement
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition:
- after: '23:00'
before: '7:59'
condition: time
- condition: state
entity_id: light.spejl
state: 'off'
action:
- data:
brightness_pct: 10
entity_id: light.spejl
service: light.turn_on
- data: {}
service: rest_command.turn_on_mm_screen
- data: {}
service: rest_command.undim_mm_screen
Next step would be to modify rest_command so that I don’t have one for each action, but send a payload that is modified to the command that I want.
So, things are shaping up, I’ve gotten the mirror rebuilt, I had to swap the monitor, it was getting too hot.
The new one is much cooler.
I also got the lights mounted, it’s a mixture of fun and serious, it will give light for usage, but it’s also RGB, so it can do effects if we want to
This image shows the lights turned to it’s lowest (apart from being off, of course. The foil is still on, until I get the mirror properly fixed to the frame, it has the foil on.
@klinge you are tying it to localhost only? If you do that, you can’t connect to it, it should be 0.0.0.0 or something like that?
No problem, a week more or less of the 9 months won’t change much
I got it through the ‘community order’ on this page.
The reflectance is very good, it’s a real mirror.
My only problem with it, is that the chroma of it is a bit brown, so it requires quite a lot of light in the room.
Go to the community order on this page, the mirrrors he is offering is real mirrors, and the best I’ve found.
@j0539h That sounds odd, I know that saying so is about as constructive as your post, but it works fine here.
My config looks like this:
{
module: "newsfeed",
position: "bottom_bar",
classes: "day_schedule",
config: {

config: {
updateType : "push",
animationSpeed: 2500,

colorLight: "#000",

}
},
Not sure what the h… happened here.
My MMM-Screencast doesn’t show up in the Youtube app any longer.
I did a reinstall with
git clone https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast.git
cd MMM-Screencast
npm install
Config looks like this
{
module: "MMM-Screencast",
position: "bottom_right",
config: {
castName: "Spejl",
position: "bottomCenter",
height: 600,
width: 800,
}
},
Just to be sure that I had the latest, but nothing shows up.
Is there a special trick for this?
Looking in the logs, I did find something, but I don’t understand the meaning, except that it says it’s already listening?

I looked a bit with
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
And without MagicMirror running it shows
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 490/sshd
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 490/sshd
with MagicMirror it shows
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 490/sshd
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 5754/electron.js
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 490/sshd
tcp6 0 0 :::8569 :::* LISTEN 5754/electron.js
So the port 8569, isn’t that screencast? If I uncomment the screencast config, it doesn’t show the port as opened…
So why doesn’t it show up in the app?
Ok, I found out what was wrong, despite the confusion with the ’ or " use.
It’s the appid, it’s called apiKey in the weather module.
So after changing that (and also changing all ’ to " in the config), removing quotes around numbers, only have the locationID instead of both location and locationID and other cleanup stuff, it is shows properly
So I replaced both my currentweather and YrThen modules with two weather modules:
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
classes: "day_schedule",
config: {
weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
type: "current",
units: "metric",
timeFormat: 24,
decimalSymbol: ",",
initialLoadDelay: 0,
onlyTemp: false,
locationID: 2621215,
apiKey: "xxx"
}
},
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
classes: "day_schedule",
config: {
weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
type: "forecast",
units: "metric",
timeFormat: 24,
decimalSymbol: ",",
initialLoadDelay: 0,
onlyTemp: true,
maxNumberOfDays: 7,
colored: true,
appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
locationID: 2621215,
apiKey: "xxx"
}
},
Looks very nice indeed
I just noticed that the ‘currentweather’ module I’ve set up a long time ago, is now deprecated, and I should use weather instead.
So I tried setting it up, but it just shows ‘loading’.
The config I’ve built looks like this:
{
module: 'weather',
position: 'top_right',
classes: 'day_schedule',
config: {
weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
type: "current",
units: 'metric',
timeFormat: '24',
decimalSymbol: ',',
initialLoadDelay: '0',
onlyTemp: 'true',
location: 'Greve',
locationID: '2621215',
appid: 'xxx'
}
},
I then tried stripping it to the example:
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
config: {
// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
type: 'current'
}
},
Still just shows loading…
@cheapdad No, you are not mistaken, the material is rather expensive. The acryllic is the cheapest solution, but you will get artifacts. There is a community order active on the site, but that is for EU, and with prices in $ I guess that is not attractive for you
I also use a PIR for waking it up, but I have a PIR for the light, and then the light wakes up the mirror via MQTT.
@mrdenmark Maybe this will help:
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-to-fully-uninstall-pihole/14133
But otherwise just save the config.js, and the list of modules, and do a clean install and install the modules and apply the config.js
Oh, and the ‘dict’ files as well, if you use MMM-MQTTbridge.
Held og lykke!
@klinge you are tying it to localhost only? If you do that, you can’t connect to it, it should be 0.0.0.0 or something like that?
@egnos I had plans on activating the voice assistant in the mirror directly, but I’ve not found a good setup yet.
@daniel_svk I’ve written some guides on the HA forum about the integration, by using the MQTTBridge and Mosquitto on HA. You can find the post here
Hi All
I used @sdetweil install script to reinstall my magic mirror software, too much experimentation had filled up the microsd card, so I took a bigger one, and reinstalled it to that, but after doing that, the magicmirror doesn’t autostart.
I used the script, and set it to use pm2, but no autostart?
